Originally, Gu Li was feeling rather depressed, but seeing Mrs. Song’s domineering display, she suddenly burst into laughter. “Madam, I’m not the one to decide when to leave Young Master Mo. I’m his subordinate, so why don’t you talk to him instead?”

Mrs. Song was infuriated and her face turned green. “How dare you speak to me like that? Aunt Liu, slap her!”

“Yes.”

Aunt Liu immediately acknowledged and swung her right hand towards Gu Li’s face.

Gu Li didn’t expect them to resort to violence so quickly, taken aback.

However, the anticipated slap did not come.

Gu Li blinked in confusion and finally noticed that Mo Shiting had stepped in front of her, grabbing Aunt Liu’s hand in the process.

Mrs. Song stood up abruptly, pointing at him and shaking with anger, “Mo Shiting, you–you dare protect her?”

Mo Shiting’s handsome face was a picture of icy resolve. “Grandmother, I can discipline my own wife. I don’t need you to trouble yourself. Excuse us!”

With those words, before the old woman could reply, he took Gu Li and left directly.

Mrs. Song was so shocked by Mo Shiting’s defiance for a woman that she felt a pain in her chest. “Rebellious! Truly rebellious!”

…

Gu Li was surprised that Mo Shiting had sided with her in front of his grandmother.

Once they were out of the hall, she tugged on his arm, “Young Master Mo, thank you for helping me out just now. But, are you sure it’s okay to upset your grandmother over me?”

Mo Shiting gave her a cold glare, “Don’t flatter yourself!”

“Hmph.”

Gu Li released him and then smiled brightly at him. “Anyway, thank you.”

“Humph!”

The man snorted coldly and strode quickly towards the car park.

Gu Li hurriedly followed.

Once they drove out of the Song’s property, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you tell your grandmother that we’re only in a pretend marriage? If you had told her, she wouldn’t have been so upset.”

It was clear that Mrs. Song had sought her out, obviously due to her previous conversation with Mo Shiting in the study which didn’t end well.

Mo Shiting, gazing out at the night scenery outside the car window, answered, “No comment!”

Gu Li pouted, “What if she troubles me again next time?”

“Deal with it yourself,”

“Heartless!”

Mo Shiting: “…”

Gu Li’s eyes darted around before she asked again, “Is Shen Yunsi your girlfriend? Did I unintentionally break up your relationship?”

Though she had fiercely confronted the woman earlier, she would feel guilty if he and Shen Yunsi were actually a couple.

Even if it was for his own good, he was still unaware of everything…

Gu Li fluttered her curled eyelashes, hiding a strange glint in her eyes.

Fortunately, the next second, Mo Shiting denied firmly, “No.”

“Really?”

The girl’s smile of relief unexpectedly leapt into Mo Shiting’s vision.

The light inside the car was dim, but at that moment, Mo Shiting thought her eyes, like clear crystal, outshone even the brightest stars in the night sky.

Maybe he was drunk from having a few too many drinks with Song Yunque and the others…

With that thought, Mo Shiting closed his eyes, refusing to let himself be seduced by her again.

Seeing him fall asleep, Gu Li also started to feel sleepy and involuntarily yawned.

The car moved steadily down the street and shortly after, Gu Li’s eyelids began to droop. Eventually, she fell asleep.

Her head tilted and conveniently landed on Mo Shiting’s shoulder.

Mo Shiting opened his eyes and promptly moved her head away.

However, before long, she leaned back against him, her breathing deep and steady in sleep.

This woman…

Probably could sleep soundly even if thrown into a desert.

Mo Shiting pursed his lips, contemplating moving her head away again when he heard her mutter in her sleep, “Brother Ting…”
